Damn, pretty cool collection of genetics. What's ecsd? i see a lot of crosses with it so it must be either fire and/or a stable with good traits? My vote goes for malowi gold x humbolt purple or platinum og x bigbud. i'm jealous you have some lambsbread lineage in your stash, one of my favorites...along with headband...and jack...I have been thinking about what strain to run. I will probably do some kind of super airy soil or a coco mix maybe. Everything about my cup project is still in thought.
I am not going to use my new fresh tga packs or any name brand breeders, just my own crosses or some greengenes pass downs.
Here is my bean bank to choose from(all regs)...kind of in order of which I like most/what are probably still viable.
Mine
GSC x Jillybean
Kandy Kush x Jillybean
Chem99 x Jillybean
Skunk#1 x Jillybean
Greengenes gifts
Alpha Blue(blue dream x ecsd)
Kali mist
Real McCoy x shiva shanti
Flow#1
Flow#2
Klamath purple x Hawaiian indica
Somas lavender x ecsd
Jack x ecsd
Headband x ecsd
OGRE x ecsd
Malowi gold x hombult purple(from simon @ serious seeds)
Gods gift x big bud(same as big lemons)
Purple og x bigbud
Platinum og x bigbud
Martian mean green x steelhead kush
Lambsbread x pangia
Somas lavender x pangia
Which do you guys like?
So I'm kind of stuck now with what I should do...
Ahh, I'm going crazy just thinking about this.
You've made my decision a little easier. Kind of leaning toward the AT200 at this point...mostly because ideally I'd like to keep my tent under 600w total and i think i'd still be under 50lbs with a third light, but god damn, that AT660 is just so damn sexy that I want it bad. Still have a couple weeks to decide...Exactly...it's all about efficiency for me. I obviously like Apache for pure led's, but I am loving my Inda-gro w/ pontoon, and I would really like to get into CMH's, instead of my 600's.
Honestly the AT200 would probably be enough considering you have the SGS still. Even if dawg takes your 120 you would have a lot of fire power. The 200 is driven a little harder than the 660 so it has lots of punch in the little unit.
But I know how you like cool new toys...
The AT660 is about 30x29 in actual size so it will literally be covering your whole canopy. It will be pretty crazy for a 3x3 but will make some massive nugs top to bottom, center to edge, for sure.
They have a better heat sink that is about 60% of the weight of the old model so it helps the big 660 a lot. It still weighs about 50lbs though...but the 4x8 tent at the show handled all the lights in there fine...and they were the old heat sinks too. I think in a 3x3 or 4x4 it takes up so much space it hangs almost vertical and doesn't pull inward so much and thus holds the weight better compared to a bigger tent(6x6). And it has 4 hanging points(or more) so the weight is distributed pretty good.
Glad I'm not the only one! Both the plant photonics and hans are really good panels, I consider them to be the european equivalents to apache tech in terms of quality. But being stateside and since apache tech is super local to where I'm at, it made my choice to go with them a lot easier. I've been using the original AT120 for around a year now and it's hands down an amazing piece of lighting. So I'm super stoked for the new gear to get in my setup. And I whole-heartedly agree that Tags is the man!Sounds exactly like me, Im going nuts and cant decide what I should get. And being a first time grower doesnt really help either... I was about to pull the trigger on the Plant Photonics or Hans Panels but since I've read Tags posts I just cant get the ApacheTech gear out of my mind.
Tags if I ever buy a light from them you can be sure I'll tell the crew you're the best rep they can even dream of and that they should offer you more free lights
not sure if UVB tubes are worth the extra effort. I supplement with Coral Waves (UVA plus red plus IR) and can't find space to put more lights overheadI want to get some UVB tubes next. Simple and cheap but could really up the crop quality.
But I am starting to have more grow lights than space or plant count will let me play with.
The stickiest of the ickiest!So do you remember all that larf/little buds from my BBS grow. Well the darkest weed in the world makes some of the best, lightest, purest shatter I have ever seen. My boy is a master of blasting and does some amazing work regardless of strain.
